ARRIVAL OF STEAM_ SHIP. HE GRE From the New York Papers received t) the evening of the 25th ult. : Extract of a letter, dated Cornwall, Upper Canada, June 14. " A very Lad feeling exists on both sides, all along the frontier, and I am very sorry to say that it is growing worse every day. Sir John Colbrrne passed this to-dly, on his way to Quebec. On his arrival there he will immediately dispatch two or three more regiments to this prmince. Ile has made arrangements to place the whole frontier in this quarter in a strong state of military defence. Lord Durham is expected here on Wcdnrsdey next. Ho intends taking a tour of the Upper Province; and it is currently reportAl that he intends moving the seat of Government from Toronto to Kingston. This is said to have been recommended by Sir G. Arthur." (From the Albany Journal of Nlondnv evening. ) IMPORTANT FROM THE FRONTIER. We learn from Mr. J. W. Turner, Deputy Marshal at Os wego, who arrived here this morning express from Lewiston, that the patriot; of Upper Canada have again made a rally on their own soil, having formed a camp in Long Swamp" (an extensive marsh lying between Green Island and Chippewa Creek), where they are now fortifying themselves. The nucleus of this force was formed by refugees who crossed over from the United States in parties of 20 or 30 at a time, so as to evade British vigilance, but volunteers are said to be flock ing in to them from all quarters. The number entrenched when they were discovered is supposed to be from 20C to 400. The alarm was instantly given, and an express sent otr to Toronto f or a regu l ar f orce to ext i rpate t h em . Th is news is very vague; we believe it comes by way of Toronto, but we think it may l e substantially relied upon. This evening's Western mail will either refute or confirm it. ANOTHER REPORT. Extract from a Letter from fir. P. C. IL Bro!ber, to a gen tleman in this city, dated Que.enston, June 14. IS3B. " To-day the report is, that the Patriots are kicking up an other muss with us. It is said that they crossed last night blow Lewiston, and arc now in the forest between this and St. Catherine." Aeonten SElZURE.—Captain tlemans, in command at Lewiston, has made another valuable seizure of Patriot arms. Ninety stand, with bayonets, were found secreted at Dickin son's tavern, six miles from Lewiston, on the Lockport-road. They were principally English Tower muskets, and of United States manufeeture. This indefatigable officer is preventing much mischief.—Buffalo Commercial Advertiser, June 16. " ANOTHER STEAM-BOAT DISASTER.—BURNING OF TILE WASIIINGTON.—Wc have received from our correspondent at Buffalo an account of the destruction of the steam-boat IVash legion by fire, on the morning of the I6th instant, off Silver Creek, with the estimated loss of 50 lives. The Washington passed the North America while the latter lay at Erie, in the early part of the night, and was nut again seen by those on beard of the North America until a bright glare of light in the direction of Silver Creek induced the captain to put about in apprehension of some disaster, when they found the noble boat a burning hull on the waters without a living being aboard. The lake was covered with hats, bonnets, trunks,bag gage, and blackened fragments of the wreck. The letter of our correspondent gives the particulars of this sad disaster : " Correspondence of the Courier and Inquirer. " Buffalo, Saturday, June 16. " DREADFUL ACCIDENT—STEAMBOAT WASHINGTON BURNED .--.FIFTY LIVES Los?.—lt is with the most painful feelings that I write you, that the new steamboat Washington, Capt. Brown, took fire from underneath the bars of the furnace, about 2 o'clock this morning, when about three miles above Silver Creek, or about 30 from this city, and was burnt to the water's edge, with all the property on beard ; but what is most lamentable, upwards of 40 persons, passengers and crew, are supposed to have perished. The Washington was bound down, with a large number of passengers. She might have Leen beached, but the tiller ropes were very soon burnt off, thus rendering her unmanage able. The steamboat North elonerka, Capt. Edmonds, was also coming down, and was within eight or ten miles of this city, when the blaze of the burning boat was discovered. Captain Edmonds very humanely and promptly put his vessel about, and hastened to the relief of the wreck, being thus the means of saving many lives. Many of the passengers were picked up, almost exhausted. One of these was a female, who, with a mother's care and tenderness, had two of her chil dren in her arms, but unfortunately life in them was extinct. She was taken up more than a mile and a half from the burn ing vessel. The Washington was a new boat, this bAng her second trip. She is the second of her name that has been lost on Lake Erie—and that, too, within a short time after they had cotomenced running. " The Master of the boat, and all the other officers escaped --but several of the crew are known to be lost. The boat was worth some 50,000 dollars. « C „ " Yours, 84e. (From the Buffalo Journal.) " The following passengers arc known to be among the lost and missing :—Captain J. Clemons, Dudley, Masiachusets ; A. Sbul.z, wife and three children, Clintnn county, New York ; Conrad Shutz, Clinton county, New York ; Mr. Shed, St. L awrence coun ty, N ew Y or k ; Mr. Barker, fa mily consisting of six persons, only one saved. A Scotch woman, name not recollected, lost three children, and her mother and sister." (From the Buffalo Commercial Advertiser..) " The alarm had been given at Silver Creek as soon as the flames were perceived from the shore, and all the boats which could be found were scnt to the rescue of the sufferers. There were only three skiffs, besides the yawl of the IVashington which could be thus used. The North America took on board about forty of those saved, many of whom, including all the ladies, remained on shore. There were six deed bodies picked up on the spot-- those of four children and two women. One man died of his injuries soon after reaching the shore, and one child was dead in its mother's arms when she was taken out of the water. " After packing up all the floating baggage which could be seen, the hull, which was still able to float the engine, was towed into Silver Creek, where it sank in six or eight feat Water. The North America remained at Silver Creek em ployed in this melancholy business six or seven hours, and everything was done by Captain Edmonds and his crew for the relief of the sufferers. Their prompt and efficient services are entitled-to all praise. " The ill-fated Washington was built at Ashtabula last winter, and had made but one trip previous to her destruc tion. The fire caught near the boilers, and had made such progress when discovered as to defy all attempts to extinguish it. The helm was instantly put about, and the boat headed for shore, but in a few moments the wheel-ropes were burnt off, and she was rendered an unmanageable wreck. Had iron rods been substituted, as melancholy experience has taught on the Mississippi, this appalling loss of life might have been averted. We hear that the surviving passengers of the Washington unite in stating that no blame was attributable to Captain Brown, the commander. " We hope and expect that the reported lass of life may prove exaggerated. We have heard, since the commen cing this article, the loss variously estimated from twenty to sixty. Many of the survivors were badly burnt before they left the boat. " We have no statement as to the probable amount of pe cuniary damage sustained by this distressing event. The pas sengers must have suffered heavily. One merchant from Il linois lost 6,000 dollars in money. ( From the New York Advertiser of June 18.) " The steam-ship, Great Western, arrived early yesterday morning from Bristol, having sailed from that port on the in 14 d ays. of the 23 inst., an d consequently made the passage (From the New York Advertiser of the 19th.) " ARRIVAL OF TIIE SIRIES.—The steam-packet Sirius ar rived last evening, a little before dusk, from Cork, whence she sailed on the 31st of May. She came up the cast river In gallant style, thousands of persons having congregated on the wharfs to see her as she passed. On nearing the pier at th foot of Pike -street three cheers were hirer by the multi tnde assembled on the dock. The compliment was acknow 10Jed on the part of the steamer by the ringing of her bell. Conipliments were also exchanged between the Sirius and the Greet Western, es the fernier passed the place where the lat ter is moored. The boat was brought to at the dock at the foot of Jeffereen-street, a short distance above the place where the Great Western is stationed." BureaterG OF TETE SIR ROBCRT PEEL.—The New York Herald of yesterday (June 1.5) has the following remarks upon this subject : The following is a copy of a "proclamation" recently issu e d by the leader of the gang that destroyed the steam boat Sir Robert Peel. It was obtained fur Governor Marcy ; -and if the facts may be relied on, is important, as showing that the k although' attack made in the American waters, was oncerted in and proceeded from the British dominions : To all whom it may concern : 'illiam Johnson, a nataral-born citizen of Upper Canada, certify that I hold a commission in the Patrict S m e a7..ll :C f _ o _ f Upper Canada, as commander-in-chief of the ea vaare 7 es and flotilla.

T WESTERN 66 MONET MARKET, &c., JUNE 20. —The Stock Market yesterday presented no change of the least moment, a moderate business having been done, at prices similar to those of the day previous. No sales of United States Bank were made. 2,000 dollars (in 6 per cent.) Treasury Notes sold at par; considerable sales are also making privately, at the same rate. Philadelphia and United States money LI per cent. disceunt. " The first public tea sale which has taken place for some time was made yesterday; the catalogue having been made up of various portions of cargoes, afford rAther an inadequate means of forming a correct opinion of the actual state of the market; an advance in prices was, however, realized, and the sale went off with spirit. The cargo per ship Asia will be offered on Friday, and will determine more fully the state of our market. _ _ " From Montreal we learn that the banks were discounting freely, and that money was comparatively plentifully.

We have not before found time to advert to the contents of the last number of the Quarterly Review, which, with the exception of Mr. Croker's petard hoisting, the engineer himself is unusally liberal. We do not know, in fact, if the concluding paragraph but one of the article on Spanish Genealogy, had been found in our or any other Anti- Tory Journal, th a t i t wou ld not h ave b een pounce d on as , a striking evidence of our want of religion. It is wo-thy of Voltaire, or Dubois, or any other French sceptic, who has essayed to prove that all the miraculous part of the Christian religion is a series of astronomical farts and ob servations, fastened on to the morality taught by Jesus Christ. How it came into the Quarterly, Mr. Lockhart must explain to the Archbishop of Canterbury. We may conceive the insertion of such a passa4-e to be by oversight, but the whole article on Atlantic Steam Navigation is designedly democratical. It sets forth the progress and levelling power of steam, and praises the Republicans. For example : " As regards, then, what may be called the mere mer cantile interests concerned—and chiefly the immediate (not prospective) ones—between the two countries, particularly, which seem to have taken up the enterprise in good earnest. These, of course, will experience in this, as in every de partment, its first and greatest effects. To a vast ex tent, steam-vessels will take the place of sailing-vessels, and that at once. This is not a case, be it understood, in which most people can do as they please. A gentleman, taking a honey-moon excursion with his bride, may possibly prefer some other conveyance to astage-coach, or even a rail road—and he may ever be allowed to humour himself in his fancy ; but not so the merchant, his agents, his letters, or many of his goods. What one does must be done by all. The whole of the mercantile world (with scarcely noticeable exceptions) will from this moment adopt the new conveyance, so fares accom modation is provided for them ; their entire correspondence must go the same way. The Great Western, on her first trip has brought home twenty thousand letters—perhaps three times as many as any sailing packet on the same route ever carried. " The reason of this transfer in each case is too obvious for explanation ; but it may not be known to all our readers to what a degree the uncertainty, as well as the length of a sail ing voyage to New York as compared with a steamed one, is an argument for this new arrangement, and a proof of the ne cessity of its universal adoption. From the very high and well. deserved: reputation of the Liners'—the most perfect conveyance of the kind, and the greatest advance in merchant navigation ever known up to the spring of 1838, it is perhaps a common impression that a passage between France or Eng land and the United Statesin one of these superb vessels, weight be counted on as much for a tolerably well settled pe riod of time, as for the co:nforts and luxuries to be enjoyed in the course of it, or for the nautical management. The fact is entirely otherwise, as every man in the business well knows. Some seasons ore more unfavourable in this respect than others; and the winter months are none of the best we allow. Neither is the return voyage so uncertain or so long, we should remark, j as the voyage out : —it is notorious that the " Liners" have always had smaller fare coming than going, in about the propor tion of twenty-eight guineas to thirty-five, and that even the steam-boats (without so much reason for it) have thus far conti nued the custom. But to take a case at hand—During the last winter—at the very time when we were continually-getting 'late' American intelligence, by unusually short and quite regular passages,—the corresponding packets going westward were encountering the full face of the same winds and currents by which those coming ea,tward were propelled. All the Liners' which left the three European packet.ports during six weeks were baffled and beat about in such a manner, that at one time abput eighteen of them were due at New York ; and thirty out of fifty belonging to that port were then supposed to be on the ocean, working their way home. The average length of this passage is about thirty-two days. One of the Liverpool ships, which sailed Jan. 4, was spoken, fifty-five days out, in long. 43—some 1,000 miles from her destination ; the others were fifty, sixty, or even seventy days on the voyage." _ After remarking several examples of extraordinary long passages, not forgetting the Diamond, which was 100 days going from Liverpool to New York, and lost seventeen passengers by starvation, and showing the advantages of steam, both as to the certainty of the time of arrival as well as the celerity of the voyage, the Reviewer adds— " Almost all mercantile travel and correspondence must be transferred at once. All light, rich, and seasonable merchan dise muA speedily go in the same way ; it will never do for one man's silks, as the fashionable season comes on, to be 60 days on the voyage, while his neighbour's are 14; neitli.2r will it do to buy long in anticipation of the market. As to travel and business not mercantile, these, like the heavy articles of commerce, will linger, more or less, for some time, with the liners' and other sailing craft. Some people, on sea as well as land, arc shy of your new-fangled steam things to this day, and would rather stick by even a two-horse coach, a French diligence, a Mississippi ark, or a Newcastle coal-sloop, th an trust themselves to the tender mercies of this second infernal machine' in any of its shapes, especially for the awful distance of 3,000 miles. We respect the caution of this class, but they will gradually disappear, and so will those who profess to prefer a longer passage, and abhor doing things in a hurry, as much as if they were on half-pay. In fact, there will remain, speedily, no opportunity for the indulgence of these fears, whims, or tastes. We shall have to do, like the merchants, what every body else does." Noblemen and gentlemen will never engage a line-of-bat- tleship, or even aiiner, to carry them exclusively across the Atlantic, simply because the steam-ship is better than either of the others, and they must content themselves with that conveyance which the merchants will be compelled to adopt. The same thing happens on our rail-roads as was predicted ten years ago would happen—all parties must travel by them. The business classes will, because they save time and money ; and the rich and idle classes, be cause there is nothing equal to them. Princes put their carriages on trucks, and go by the railway. If we had chaunted in the strains of the Quarterly the levelling power of steam, we should have been acting in our vocation; but it commits in this article as great a heresy against the political creed of its party as the conc!usion of the article on Spanish Genealogy is a religious heresy. Mark also, reader, what obedience to truth wrings from the Ultra-Tory Journals complimentary to the American. "Brother Jonathan is a business-man, no doubt; he looks pretty well to the main chance; nor is he greatly shocked or put to inconvenience by any of the ordinary methods of money makinp; which fall in his way. In these particulars, be it ob served; he favours' old John himself. If the Americans are not literally as much as we are a nation of shopkeepers,' it is partly, we conjecture, because they reckon some other things just as profitable, and not so very different ate they after all ; we do not refer now to wooden-nut making, or white oak cheeses, by any means, but to trapping, sending out ice, and a most fanta,tie variety of those Yankee no tions,' so called by themselves—suitable undoubtedly to the circumstances of the communities and countries in which they originate, and to which they are destined ; in a word, where ver money is to be made, there are they as sure to be gathered together as )oung eagles over a carcase. No obstacle stands long in their way ; no distance, difficulty, or disaster, turns them aside. Mr. Clay, in one of his speeches, relates an anecdote of the master of a vessel who sorely embarrassed the people of the Custom-house at Leghorn, by presenting ship papers made out at Cincinatti, a port some 2,000 miles up the Mississippi, and one of its branches. Nut many years ago the commander of a Russian exploring ship in the Ant ; retie Seas, coming on the coast of a remote and solitary island, was proceeding as a matter of cc.urse to take possession in the name of the Czar, when lo ! a sharp-built little sloop, of some 60 tons, made her appearance round a point of the island, and hailed him to ask if he wished for a pilot ? It was a Connec ticut skipper,' who had cruised off that way to seek his fortune;' the person is now well known here as captain of one of the most splendid of those fine ships—the New York Liners.' " As a driving, penetrating, indefatigable, business people, the Americans Lave a name literally all over the world ; they are emphatically the universal Yankee nation.' And yet we say—prominent as this part of their character in, considerable as the interests are to which we have called a passing attention —it in not these al..ne they have in view. Unquestionably young Jonathan (as well as old John) thinks of something besides packing his ice and his pork, and getting the equiva lent therefore. The Americans are not all merchants, and the merchants are not all me-e mercantile men. They, in common with the whole nation, with the entire continent, have a vital, an exquisite interest in the O'd World, and in the whole of it, and in all it; history, fortunes, and pro ecAings ; interests, social, literary, scientific ; interests, poli tical and religions. No great moverne.a can tnke place among us widen they must not feel in every nerve of the body politic of the States ; sooner cr later, more or less ; and though distance (now reduced by one-half however), and iohtion, and peculiar institutions, may seem almost to make them, in some respects, an independent %%arid by themselves, on the other hand, these very circumstances enhance, in the American mind, thc freshness and &pill of the int, rest they have in their connAion with the Old World, and the visita tions they are in the habit of getting from it." We have not quoted, to our shame be it written, the most amusing or eloquent part of the article, I.) , cause we have it more at heart to show that the tendency of society now forces even the Quarterly Reviewer to acknordedge the sues-sr of the levelling and democratic principles. The firtiele should be read by every maw. The whole Number is something more than Whig, as contrasted with what the Edinburgh Review, the organ of the Whigs, was ten years ago.

Every bridge from Whitworth to Rochdale has been carried away by the flood. Messrs. Twee. dale at Broa,dley, have suffered considerably ; their dyeworks are situate on a brook, called the Healy-hall Brook, which shortly before 1 o'clock on Wednesday, contained scarcelj any water; about 1, however, the storm commenced, witl terrific claps of thunder and fearfully vivid lightning; if continued till about half-past 2, with but little intermission, accompanied with a storm of hail and pieces of ice of extra. ordinarn size, which speedily destroyed all the windows of the upper works. The weight and pressure of the flood burst the bank of one of the lodges, and the whole force of the swollen stream coming against the gi.slicuse of the works, which was a small stone building, carried by an arc', over the brook, and situate about a 100 yards higher than: the dyehouse, actually uplifted it and bore the building. containing three retorts weighing from 25 to 30 cwt. each, down the stream and upon its surface, till it came in contact with the upper end of the dyehouse, which it struck with such force as to drive in part of the wall, thus giving entrance to the flood. The water speedily covered the lower floor of the building, carrying all before it; and when it forced its way through the lower end of the building it swept away be fore it about 130 bales and packs of wool, some of them weighing 7001 b. each. Mr. John Tweedale, his son, and eight or ten of his hands, were some time in a situation of consider able peril. They were in the drying-stove, whence they made their way to a room where Mr. Twecdale broke a win dow and called for help ; a number of the bands outside at l length succeeded by means of ropes, planks, &c., in bringing, them all safe out of the drying-stove, but when they landed them they were nearly up to their necks in water. Four horses in a stable were with difficulty rescued ; a man broke the window, and when he entered he found them up to the shoulders in water ; in a shippon adjoining the stable, a little boy, son of the cowkeeper, had crept for safety ; he was heard screaming, and some persens who were going to his assistance saw him attempt to catch at a pole, but he was immediately swept down the stream and drowned; his body has not yet been found. A large cart at the bottom end of the warehouse was swept away, a large boiler of 10 horse power which stood out side the warehouse was also carried away, and a stack of be tween 70 and 80 tons of hay from beneath a French barn. In the smithy of the establishment nothing was left but the stithy. A great quantity (probably 50 tons) of sawn inch and inch-and-a-half boards for flooring, which were piled in two large tiers, were entirely swept away. Such was the force of the flood, that most of the bales and packs of wool were burst, and, we believe, only two or three of the whole bales have been recovered; and a very small quantity of the tim ber. It is stated that a quantity of the wool was intercepted in its passage down the flood and stolen. A gentleman named Cross, who was fishing in the brook before the storm, was detained five hours before he could cross it, and Ise states that the water rose at one point not less than four yards in twenty minutes. The old mill at Healey-hall bottoms, which was used for finishing flannels, is stated to have been entirely carried away, as well as a number of small bridges. At the new mill of Messrs. J. Schofield and Sons, at Buckley, near Rochdale, on the Hamer-brook, all the panes of the upper flier of the mill were broken, and a large long thick wall was washed down. At Benfield-hall, near Rochdale, at the print-works of Messrs. W. Benecke and Co., upwards of 200 panes of glass were broken, and part of the lodge-bank was washed away. Several parts of walls were dashed down at Makeant-mill, about three miles be low Rochdale. At the fulling mill at Manwood, belonging to Mr. J. Gibson, a great quantity of pieces and dyewood were carried away. At Spotland bridge, 200 yards lower en the same river, the whole of Mr. Whitaker's premises were swept away within less than two hours from the commence ment of the storm. Three men stood for a long time on the steam-engine surrounded by water. Mr. Whitaker is the greatest sufferer in the neighbourhood; his dyehouse, his stove, or dry-house, the building where the wet flannels are dried after being dyed—his all, the labour of a life, are a wreck; this is not all : 400 pieces of flannels finished, others in an unfinished state, together with a quantity of wool and indigo, and other dye woods, amounting to 800/., were borne along by t h e rag i ng torrent. Messrs. B. and W. Turner's mill at Black Pets, about three miles from Roch dale, has also received considerable damage from the floods ; many others have had the lowest room in the mill or factory laid under water, and the machinery spoiled in many instances; mill-dams and weirs have been borne down, and fields of hay-grass laid under water and covered with sand or mud. Nothing like the extent of the injury is yet as cer t a i ne d . Several lives have been lost. At a little distance from this place three men were caught in a coal pit, and had not time to escape from a watery grave. They remain yet buried in the pit. By three o'clock on the Thursday morning several cartloads of the pieces, wool, tubs, barrels, trees, and other articles, were gathered up in the fields near the gasworks, which had been covered with water; many of the pieces were torn into threads, and so in jured as to be of little value ; the damage done within a few miles of Rochdale cannot be estimated at less than 80,000/. Is is somewhat remarkable, that at two miles distant, on the southern side of the town, scarcely any rain fell, though the streets were six or seven inches deep in water, and had all the appearaece of a river for nearly an hour. The greatest part of the rain fell between Whitworth and Rochdale. At Littleberough, Heywood, and Middleton, there was scarcely a shower. TIIITRSDAY.

MANCHESTER. During Wednesday afternoon last an extremely terrific thunderstorm, with an almost unprecedented heavy fall of hail and large pieces of ice, several inches in circumference, and followed by torrents of rain, passed over a considerable part of this county, a few miles to the north of this town. The hail and larg e pi eces o f ice of irregular Erm, have d one great dama g e t o gar d ens, cons ervatories, and t o many fac tories and large wor k s , es p ec ially to their skyli g h ts . I n many places scarc e ly a w h o l e pane of glass has b een l e f t in the upper wind ows o f l arge m ills, &c. ; and the d amage from this cause alon e , i n R o chdale, Bolton, Bury, a n d their neighbourhood, will be very considerable. But the most serious loss of life, and the most extensive injuries to property, have been the result of the floods, produced in the small streams and rivers which take their rise in the hills north of Rochdale and Bolton. These seem to have been filled with fearful rapidity, so that the bridges spanning them were soon swept down, and in many cases the great body of water, carrying away before its resistless torrent the banks of reservoirs end lodges of water, appears to have speedily inun dated the lower lands to a great depth, covering the hay fields, sweeping away the newly-cut grass, and doing great injury to buildings, machinery, and property of every descrip tion. Near Barnsley, in Yorkshire, twenty-seven boys and girls were drowned in one coal-pit; three men were in like manner, overwhelmed by the flood in a coal-pit in the neigh bourhood of Rochdale; a boy was swept from a stable at Brad ley, and drowned ; another had lost his life at Bolton ; and a large number of cattle, sheep, and other animals, have perished. In this town and the immediate neighbourhood but little, com paratively, of the effects of this tremendous storm were experi enced. Between half-past three and four o'clock there was a thunderstorm and a very smart shower, which was not of long continuance. The effect of the heavy rains pouring down the small streams tributary to the Irwell was, however, to cause the most rapid rise of that river ever recollected : commencing about six o'clock on Wednesday evening, it continued rising till about nine o'clock, and then gradually subsided. It is stated that it rose at the rate of a yard and a half per hour fur those three hours, being about four yards and a half above its ususal level. A chest of drawers was seen floating down the river, but its progress was arrested at Throstle Nest. ROCHDALE AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. On Wednesday last this town was visited by one of the most terrible and destructive thunderstorms which ever happened in this part of the country. 'I he weather was extremely warm, and the atmosphere close and sultry. The stillness of the surrounding scene forboded a tempest near at hand. About two in the afternoon the most vivid flashes of lightning began to dart in quick succession from the dark clouds which obscured the face of the sky. Soon after the rain be gan to fall in torrents, mingled with bail and large irregular pieces of ice. Some of the hailstones measured an inch and a quarter in diameter, which would be nearly four incises in circumference. Messrs. Lomax had 800 panes of glass broken in their factory, the chief part of which were sky-lights ; Mr. Henry Kersall, 1,850 panes in his factory, .warehouse, and greenhouse ; all the sky-lights and many windows in the new mill of Mr. Brierly were broken; Mr. King, in Oldham road, who had an extensive loom-shop attached to his factory, had 3,000 panes broken ; and so on in proportion to the ex tent of his property, has every person suffered by this destruc tive storm. Several buildings were struck by the lightning. Mr. Smith's chimney, Cheetham-street, had au opening . of about four inches wide cut into it, without displacing the adjain ing bricks. The bdfry of Mr. Howard's factory, immediately adjoining, was struck by the electric fluid, without doing any material damage, except displacing a few bricks and stones. A pigeon when on the wing wns struck by the lightning, and fell lifeless into the Areet. The chimney at Messrs. Petries' iron works received some damage from the lightning ; but the worst yet re nains behind. The storm Lai nut raged an hour before the river rose to an alarming height. The So Idol, a small rivu'et which takes its rise between Whitworth and Backup, and meets the River Roach about 200 yards below the town, bore ev , rything down before it by three o'clock. So sudden was its rise, that it enclosed half-a-dozen chil dren and some men who had gone into a field to watch it before they were aware cf their perilous situation. Re treat was impossible. The field was surrounded with water, and the ground upon which they stood every moment became narrower and narrower, till at last all was one sheet of water ; the little urcl)ins h a d cow retreated into a thorn hedge, where their situation becam e truly painful; every moment they were expected to be washed by the raging element from this last place of refuge. ,e ds The mast liv e ly i n t, res t was exc :t : d f or their of sp ec t a t ors, though property of every fate in description hu n c u a r rne floating down ; barrels, planks, trees torn up by the roots, wool pieces, carts, skiffs, timber, &c. yet every one seemed absorbed in the fate of these chil dren. '1 ire water was at its highest a little before four, when it began to subside ;at half -past four a man plunged in en horseback, awl brougl.t the children to land, by two at a time; the water at the deepest part he bad to cross might BOLTON. On Wednesday afternoon last this town and neighbourhood were visited by one of the most violent storms witnessed here for many years. The rain fell in torrenv, accompanied by violent peals of thunder, and, what was rather singular, the rain was interspersed with hailstones as large as horsebeans. The electric fluid killed a horse, belonging to Mr. Hargraves, which was pasturing in a field on Bolton-moor. At Tu'rner bridge, a lad of about 14 years of age, named Noble, whilst endeavouring to catch some timber, accidentally fell into the river, and was carried away. Every foot-bridge, with one exception, between Bolton and Birtonshaw, was carried away. The neighbourhood of Little Bolton, Turton, Longworth, and Sharpies, adjoining the river Edgley, a branch of the Irwe lying north-west of Bolton, was visited by the storm in a manner the most awful ever witnessed by the oldest inhabi tants. The rain fell in torrents, and in about two hours the river was swollen to a height much beyond what had ever been remembered. The damage done at the Egerton mill w ill not much exceed 35/. ; that at Edgley mills may probably amount to 80/. or 901. FRIDAY EVENING. THREE LIVES LOST BY LIGHTNING. This evening, about half-past 8 o'clock, the electric fluid struck the gable-end of the new part of the Royal George factory, belonging to Messrs Ormerod and Hardcasile, which was lately desroycd by fire. The whole came down and buried three men in the ruins. The neighbours and all the hands about the fectory rushed to the spot, and in a few mi• nutes extricated the bodies, which' were most shockingly mutilated. had the accident occurred in the daytime, when bet xeen 30 and 40 men were at work, the consequences would have been still more disastrous. BURY AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. On Wednesday last the town and neighbourhood of Bury was visited by a tremendous storm of thunder and lightning, accompanied by such heavy showers of rai:i and hail, that the brooks and rivers of the district rose to the height of six or eight feet above their usual level in the short space of thirty to forty minutes. We are informed that at the mills at Dearden Clough great damage.was sustained, as well as at Mr. Parkinson's mill at Ewood-bridge. All the lawn and meadow land (upward o f 50 acres) in front of the re s i dence of Mr. John Grant, o f which the works of Mr. E. Hardman, of B ury, the land, bras completely inundated, as well as a port i on of are situate, At Black Pits, the mills of Messrs. Turner and Co. were so much damaged by the overflowing and rapid cur rent, that some time must elapse before they can be put into operation. The heavy stone wall of the large Iceml-shed n ear tl.e brook was washed completely down, and the looms and machinery in it, and the lower rooms of the mill were im mersed in water, and much valuable property washed away, but we are happy to sa y no lives were lost. In the neigh. - bourhood of Rawtonstall large tracts of meadow and pasture land were laid under water, and from the quantty of wreck that has floatcd down the streams, it is feared that the damage sustained has been very great. At Messrs. Walker and Lomax's mills upwards of 300 squares of glass were broken in the s • kyl;ghts by the heavy hailstone s . PRESTON. Thls town and neighbourhood were on Wednesday last visited by another storm of thunder and li g h tn i ng. The thun derWrednesday was first heard between e l even and twelve, and it may be said that there was, in fact, no intermission till near five in the afternoon. The lightning w as a l so exceed ingly v ivid, and twice during the continuance of the st orm there was the awe-inspiring phenomenon of an almost Egyp tian darkness. At the time of the first darkness, near one o'clock in the afternoon, the Chairman at the Quarter Sessions was summing up to the jury, but his notes were rendered use s:bin:ln named theyuimxhtr y en,eloeded t ,iNe o l. eel bo d zrn eco i t t i r i zefn g tanme7At u dsaol i s l s oreo h ysd: slitre:ruhlymil of them wne a tlhhi n at elt d haitt nice e h rap t; e ehr vdaet w iri far a ceekn s l ndcsa l eue 3 en e sssrds r lt personst l f v force s roe s ek rs p f tal r a:b. o at: e r icsi agee are ae l dtpl en three children, e s t et isr o l aessiyoahtn person en, resided in Albert street, near the National School. The poor man was by trade a hand-loom weaver, although, we understand, he has for a short time been em ployed on the power-looms. The time when he was fatally struck was between one and two o'clock, and his death appears to have been instantaneous as an " eye-flash." He was at one 111 ' n ent engaged in administering some humble nourishment to his poor wife, who had been prematurely ccnfined in child d on the preceding night; and the next he lay stretched a lifeless corpse to the agonized view of a widow and three fa therless children. WOODFLUMPTON AND THE NEIGHBOURHOOD. On Wedreelay last this neighbourhood was again the scene of . a most t remendous v i F i tit i on o f th un d er , lightning, mid rain. It Commenced about noon, and continued to utter its mighty voice with unabated fury until seven in the evening. The thunder was never heard louder, nor was the lightning ever seen more vivid : the rain fell in torrents the whole p. - r:od. The most astonishing circumstance which happened in this neighbourhood is, that as the canal packet was on its way to Lancast er ( vi.en between Lea and Swillbrooke), the bridles of the horses were so much burnt as to be rendered useless ; but, strang e to Sa V, the horses and rider escaped uninjured, save bein g Very much frightened. YORKSHIRE—LOSS OF MANY LIVES. ; The neiglibourhood - of Stainb:Teri , h, Dodworth and Silk stone was oa ednesday visited by 'a tremendous hail.vorrr, which did conriderable damage in the gardens, as well as to a great riurnb.r of windows ; the rain fell in torrents, and the vales from D..dwol th to Worsbreugh Dale were flooded to sueli an extent as has not been witnessed for several yens, and several cattle were taken down by the stream. In the valley of the south west side of Dodworth the water rose to such a height that it reached the entrance of a coal-pit, in the bill side, belonging to Mr. R. Clarke, called the Moor-side Pit; the water rushed in so that in a short time the pit was filled ; a number of col liers were at work in the pit, and many of them perished in the water; it is ssated that 27 persons have been taken out dead. Since the above was in type, we have received a con firmatory account, with the names of the 27 unfortun:le per sons mho have fallen victims, and who are all from 10 to 18 years of age; 11 of Com are females. The damage done to the windows alone at Wentworth Castle is estimated at 500/. We further learn that at Wentworth Castle the destruction i truly lamentable ; all the glass of the green and hot house,: is wholly destr oyed, as well as their valuable contents; the pineries, frames, flowers, shrubs, &c., are all swept away, and 4,000 yards of walling laid prostrate. Another correspondent says, the hail-stones measured four inches and a half round. The water swept away timber trees, walls, bridges, and a a quantity of furniture from the houses; coals, tubs, pigs, and clothes from the hedges; and ten beasts from Air. Jahn Archer, of Saville-ball, near Barnsley; it has done about 3001. of dama ge i n Silkstone to different individuals, and the ro ids are all blown up in a dreadful manner ; the entire village presented the appearance of a complete sheet of water, from one end to the other; it was impassable for a few hours. A private letter from Rochdale, dated in the afternoon of Wednesday, states that the storm raged there to a fearful ex tent ; mills and houses were washed down, and property de stroyed by the flood to the extent of about 6001. The storm at Edinfield is stated in a letter we have seen to have lasted about six hours, commencing about noon. We subjoin an account of the calamity at Silkstone, as pub lished in a Leeds paper : SILKSTONE— TWPNTV- SIX CHILDREN DROWNED: On Wednesday last the southern part of Yorkshire an, part of the county of Lancaster were visited by a terrific storm of thunder and hail, which not only did very damage by the breaking of glass and the destruction 'ef trees in the gar dens, but, by suddenly swelling the streams to an alm os t unprecedented height, has caused immense damage to pro perty, and also a far greater loss of life than we remember on any similar occasion. The following particulars are sent by our Barnsley Correspondent :—" I have this week to give you the most disastrous account of loss ef life and property that ever fell to my lot to record. On Wednesday afternoon a most violent thunder-storm took place in this part, when large pieces of ice fell, which had not dissolved on Thursday, and which broke nearly all the glass in the gardens of Mr. F. V. Wentworth, Wentworth castle, doing damage to the amount of 500/. The sudden rush of water caused one of Messrs. Field, Cooper, and Co.'s coal-pits to be nine yards deep, as well as washed a great part of their railway up. The flood has done a great deal of damage along the valley from Little Houghton at Silkstone. Windows have been broken in nearly all the houses from Round-green to Silkstone by the large pieces of ice. Such a flood has not been known since 1807 at Silkstone, where the houses were from four to five feet deep in water. In many gardens not only the crop, but even the soil also had been carried away. Large trees were rooted up and taken down the stream. But by far the moat dreadful part of the account is, that 26 lives have been lost. I obtained the following particulars on the spot :—As the water was seen to be running down the shaft of a coal-pit belonging to Mr. R. C. Clarke, at Silkstone, the person in authority at the top sent a man into the pit to order all to put out their lights and come out as soon as possible. Consequently all made the best of their way to the pit bottom, expecting to be drawn out im mediately; but, lamentable to relate, on account of so much water having fallen, the steam-engine could scarcely keep the steam up, and they could not be drawn out. About 40 of the smaller children then set off to the day-hole, the horizon tal shaft by which persons may walk in or out of the pit, without going up or down the perpendicular shaft. Having got through a trap door, that is set a few yards up the day hole boardgate, and about 10 or 12 yards below what is called " a slit," driven in a top bed of coal, full of dirt, they were making the lo:st of their way up the road, when the water burst into the day-hole, met the children, and forced '26 of them back to the door, where they were afterwards found, all quite dead, within the space of 11 or 12 yards between the doors of the slit-14 of the largest children escaped by getting into the old slit ends. Ile sufferers are fiorn the age of 7 years to 17. It was the most heartrending sight that could be witn e ssed, t o see th e carts w i t h t h e bodies in them going through Silkstone, leaving a corpse or two at nearly every door—the women in a state of distraction, tear'ts.; the hair from the;r heads. CORONER'S INQUEST. On Saturday evening a highly respectable jury was empa nelled before Mr. Stirling, the Coroner, at the Star and Gar ter, Kensington, to inquire into the circumstances attending the death of Charles \Vebb, aged 31, who, with his wife (who is still living) was struck by lightning during the severe thunder storm on Friday morning. Thomas Green said—l have some years known the de ceased, who lived in the service of Mr. Crickett, in the ca pacity of coachman. He was 31 years of age, and previous to his death enjoyed very good health. He slept over the stables. About seven o'clock on the morning of Friday last I saw him in the hayloft adjoining his bed-room. He got up to call me, as I slept in the loft, He then went to bed again to his wife, who was with him. I got up directly, and sud denly a storm came on ; I saw a flash of lightning, and in stantly after heard a loud report of thunder, which appeared to be close by. It sounded in the coach-house as if a double barrelled gun bad gone off. It very much alarmed the horses. The lightning ran quite through the stabling. I immediately vtent up to call the deceased, ‘.114 , 11 I found him and his uiie both on fire in bed ; their clothes and the bed-clothes and pil lows were burning. I burst the do'er opn, the room was full of smoke, and neither of them moved. I gave an alarm, when several persons came to my assistance,- put out the are, and took the deceased and his wife out of bed. The deceased was dead, but his wife, who was dreadfully burned, was alive. The Jury returned a verdict that "the deceased's death had been caused by the effects of lightning." PROCEEDINGS OF THE ULSTER ORANGEMEN. (Abridged from the Dublin Evening Post of last Thursday.) We have only space to refer to the following extracts, for which we are indebted to two of our correspondents, and to our Northern Contemporaries, particularly the Newry Exa miner. We have not even room to take the seditious para graphs of the Evening Mail to pieces :—.- PORTADOWN, JULY 2.—Orangeism appears to be as rampant here - as it was even in the palmy days of Tory misrule. Maiming cattle; consuming by fire large quantities of turf; burning houses; assaulting unoffending individuals; walking in illegal processions, in which military men, belonging to both the infantry and artillery, have taken a part, end for which they will have to abide their trial at the ensuing assizes at Armagh, are scenes of no extraordinary occurrence in this neighbourhood. This description of facts may be looked an by your English readers 'either as utopian, or, if real, as having occurred in either the South or West of Ireland, but by no means as being the acts of the supersanctified inhabitants of the North of Ireland. However, I beg leave to assure these sceptics, that these are some of the practical virtues for the performance of which the Bible-reading Protestants of the North have been conspicuous for several years past ; and should any person attempt to deny that all or any of the above-stated outrages have occurred in the Portadown petty Sessions district in the course of last year, I will produce irrefragable evidence to prove their reality. The acts of outrages com mitted in the parish of Tartaraghan and the adjacent districts, equal if not surpass, in numberand atrocity, the most disturbed portions of either Tiperary or Kent. DUNGANNON, JULY 4.—Sunday morning our church had a flag hoisted as usual on the spire, and a merry peal on the belle. Next day (Monday) we had the bells going for some time, they re-commenced ringing again about nine o'clock at night, and continued until ten o'clock. About the same hour drums and fifes were heard approaching the town, but, fortunately for the peace of the inhabitants we had Captain Duff here, a stipendiary magistrate, who most promptly ordered out a party of police, with their officer, Captain Kelly, and prevented the Orangemen entering our town. On the same night, at a place called Donaghy, on the leading road from Dungannon to Cookstown, a party of these disturbers of the peace assembled to the amount of about three to four hundred, with fifes and drums, playing party tunes. They had a bonfire and fired shots. A police patrol came to them for the purpose of dis persing them, and to identify the ringleaders if possible. The Orangemen completely surrounded the police, fired several shots over their limb, and swore if they interfered with them that they would murder every man of the party, and ac tually disarmed one of the police. [With regard to the latter part of this letter—the attack upon the Police—we should observe that the communication is anonymous, but it will, no doubt, be confirmed or contia dieted in a few da) 5.] ANOTHER CHAPEL WRECKED I —Whilst the Dublin Even ing Post is mulcted in some seven or eight hundred pounds for declaring that a leader of the Orangemen is unfit to in terfere in the selection of jurcrs in the county of Monaghan _whilst Robert Holmes declaims on the glories of the Revo lution of 'BB, and identifies with those glories the Orangeism of Ireland—the brethren in the North are demonstrating, most imptessively, the admirable consistency of their princi - p i es with the impartial dispensation cf justice, and the strength of their claims to be set forward as the champions of civil and religious freedo m , b y a Lib eral advocate, who does not scruple to name, in the same breath, the most wicked and cruel of factions, and " the resplendent sun of American li berty." It was our painful duty to call public attention, some days since, to the wrecking of the chapel of Carrickennsnia, which is situate in one of the most Orange districts of the county of Armagh. We have now to announce a repetition of this most abominable sacri!ege in another district of the same county I The " loyalists" selected an apprc.priate occa sion for the outrage. Whilst all the people of the realm were engaged, peacefully and joyously, in celebrating the corona tion of their youthful Sovereign—forgetting for a time their religious and political distinctions, and combining, with one heart and soul, to offer her their willing homage', and raise their voices in prayer for her health and happiness—the de mons in human form who still plague this miserable country went forth, in the darkness of the night, to destroy a temple consecrated to the worship of the Most High God I We are sorry to say that no discovery has yet bzen made of the destroyers of the Chapel of Carrickainania. A reward will speedily be offered fur their apprehension, and we trust that the Government will take prompt measures for the protection of the Catholic people in the neighbourhood and in the dis trict of Tartaraghan. We thick ..bat it should institute a public and solemn investigation into these dreadful occur rences, and prove, as well to the brutal Orangemen as to the victims of their atrocity, that it is resolved to see justice done, property preserved, and a reckless banditti reduced beneath the dominion of the laws: We pray the attention of the public and the Government to tee following statement of a correspondent, whose faithwortni- • ness we can avouch : " CEIARLEMONT, JULY 2.—At an early hour yesterday, the inhabitants of this town were disgusted by a ragged and dis orderly crowd desecrating the Sabbath, by erecting an Orange 4 id Purple Flag--Orange Lilies, &c., on the spire of Charle ne mt Church. On the flag, is the appearance, of a man on ho - seback, intended to represent " William 111. of Glorious Memory." Many persons, on going to the usual Church ser vice, turned away when they observed the manner in which their place of wo. - ship was polluted by the exhibition cf tho emblems of a party which had caused so much bloodshed and in our native land. It is cause of wonder that the Clergyman who officiates in this Church, and who is also Chaplains to the army here, and consequently paid officer of the Government, should not interfere to have such party o nblems removed. There is blame also attached to the c'turchwardens, one of whom is a retired Government officer, and the other a public officer, holding his situatidu by authority of the Lord Lieutenant. ARMAGH —We learn from a gentleman who travelled to Markethill on Monday, that he met, upon the highroad, near Lou.ghgilly, some five hundred Orangemen, marching in pro cession, displaying flags, heating drums, and bearine. fire-a-ms. They kept up constant shouting, drumming:, and yelling.. They were a wretched mob, hut, on that account, only the mere dangerous. Four or five policemen were sent out of Markethill to take down their names. —"a mete mockery" ob serves our correspondent, " and a miserable protection to the terror-stricken people of the country." He adds,__" the authenticity of this statement will, I fear, be verified, in the loss of life, before I return to Newry." W e have no doubt that similar demonstrations have been made, in other districts. Will Lord Glengall, or some of his noble supporters, who en. tertain such horror at the peaceable and constitutional meeting in the south, to petition fur the redress of a public grievance, be consistent with themselves, and call for inquiry into the tumultuous and illegal gatherings of the Orangemen of Ulster ? MONAGHAN.—The faction iii Sam Gray's own county, which has been made classic ground for the Orangeists, by the slaughter of the innocents at Mollyash, were scarcely more quiet than their mates in Armagh, on the first of July. A large body of them decked out in the insignia of the order, marched through the town of Monaghan, whilst the Catholic congregation were returning to their homes, after the religious services of the day. They were allowed to pursue their way without disturbance, but Sir W. Lynar, a stipendiary magis trate, having heard of the procession, ordered out the police; and, when the Orangemen were returning in the evening, he met them at some distance from the town, and compelled them although with much difficulty, to separate. He was obliged to read the Riot Act before they would submit to his directions. happily, no mischief was done ; and we are bound to say, that for its prevention the people of Monaghan are indebted to the activity and decision of Sir W. Lynar. NEWIEY.—For s evera l even i ngs, and especially on the eve of the first of July, the Orangemen have been disporting themselves in Newry, as is their custom at this season. Their party tunes and discharges of fire-arms at the wall which sur rounds Mr. Turner's property, and at the head of Canal street; have much disturbed the quiet people of the neigh-- beurhood. The Magistrates and constabulary ought to keep watch upon these gentry, and take c ire that their frolics do not lead to breaches of the peace. THE COMING TWELFTH. --The Government should be wakeful. The peace of Ulster requires that they be so. The settements which we are enabled to make to-day abundantly demonstrate that the Orangemen arc not at all disposed to obey the laws. Experience is lost upon them. They have been deaf to remonstrance. Punishment has not made them wise. It is absolutely necessary that they be kept down with a strong hand. We know that they have been making prepa rations to celebrate the twelfth —and if our information were not sufficient to satisfy us as to the fact, the statement of Sir Robert Bateson in the Ilouse of Commons, when opposing the Processions' Bill, would render it indisputable. We aro well assured that these preparations will not be lightly aban doned; and on the part of the Roman Catholic and Liberal Protestant population of Ulster, on the part of all the friends of peace and order incur province—w c implore the Executive to take such measures as may carry into effect the benevolent purposes of the Legislature, and prevent those deplorable col- I isions which must be apprehended, if the insensate minions of Orangeism he allowed to insult their unoffending neighbours, and trample on the authority of the laws. BEER-SHOPS. TO THE EDITOR 01' THE SUN. SlR—Lord Melbourne Made a short speech the other night on the Coro-laws, which was much cheered by Noble Lords on both sides of the House. Speaking of com mercial interests, be said " they could not prosper—they could not thrive under a system of frequent fluctuation arid change. There was great danger in the change, and next to the change itself, was to be feared and dreaded the constant apprehension of change." These words sounded well in the ears of great landed proprietors, and I ask them to apply the same law to others which they would lay down for themselves. But a few nights afterwerls a death warrant was issued against an Act for the sale of beer, passed du. jag the administration of the Duke of Wellington, about three years after the present Corn-law Act, and on this occasion their Lordships cheered lustily for change. Nothing was said about the mischief of frequent fluctuations or the restless spirit of the age, or the loss which this making and unmaking of laws entails upon private individuals, though the Act in question was in its infancy compared with their femous Corn-law Act. It night have occurred to them that avast number of persons in town and country had laid out considerable property,in many instances, all their property, in hiring and fitting up houses fur the sale of beer ; and that the sudden repeal of the Act would entail great hardship, and perhaps rein, on a t number of those persons who had confided in the sta bility of the law. The plea, however, is the injury which beer does to the lower classes ; but it is a singular coinci dence that though there pare been occasional complaints ft.( ter magistrates and parsons of the mischief done by these beer-shops, the outcry should become so loud at the pre sent moment, when the licenced victuallers petition against them. I have a great respect for that body ; 1 applaud them for their unity of purpose, for their charitable institu tions, for their anxiety to provide education for their chil dren and relief for agedand decayed members ; and because I believe them to be actuated by good feelings. I appeal to them in behalf of the thousands of men, women, and children, that would suffer by any change of the law. It is also singular that petitions should have been presented from bankers, merchants, and householders, against the beer-shops in Bristol, Manchester, and other large towns, while no complaints are made against plants where " beer plus gin" (words used by Lord Brien:on/1m) are sold. If beer is injurious to 1.1,e morals of the peop!e, gin and brandy are still worse If it is in jurious to drink till ten o'clock in the evening, the hour at which the former places must close, it must be still more injurious to drink all night ; and if the reason is good for suppressing the one, a Arl;ori it is good for suppressing the other. Let equal justice then be done, let the death-warran go forth against all public-houses, where the men only learn to neglect their wives, spend money that should go to the support and comfort of their children, rail against the Government, speak treason, plan burglaries, hatch con spiracies, quarrel and fight with their comrades, the finish of which is a fight with the police, or a curtain lecture, and a quarrel with their best friends. Why should the Lords overlook all these and many more evils, and fasten upon the poor hard-worked peasants, who have seldom a sixpence to spare—who cannot brew their own beer, and who, con sequently, by the repeal of this Act, will be the only class to whom this main irrredient of " Old English cheer" is debarred P The Lords know nothing of the wants and habits of the lower classes. Lord Brougham would deprive them of beer, the Bishop of London would forbid skittles, and Mr. Plumptre will not allow them to enjoy the country air on Sunday. If things go on i n thi s wa y, th e y m ay well cry for U n i versa l Lffrage, Or, as Mr. O'Connell says, for a Parliament of their own. When the Bill comes from the House of Lords, the people will sec whether their friends in the Commons are able to protect them against this renewed attempt to meddle with their enjoyments.

N o t cnly does he pree;:t us with a fuller, more minute, and practical ac.. count of the German mineral springs than has ever bellne been given to the public,'ccnveyed; too, in a popular and pleasing form, but his book Is so lively and amusing as to justify the apology i n his preface for the light and varied style in which he has treated the subject. No tn. - yeller to Germany should depart without putting this work in his portmante:iu. The inhabitants of•Holbeacli set on foot a subscrip tion for the purpose of giving a feast to the poor on the day of the Coro nation, when about 401. was got together. This sum being quite inado. q ate, the Vicar was solicited to set an example to those who refused to subscribe unless he did, and to give a sum of money towards the enter. tainment. The net. Gentleman resisted every importunity, in conse quence of which the money was returned to the subscribers. On Fri. d;ty n‘ght, about twe:ve o'clock, the poor people who had been disap pointed of their anticipated rejoicings through the Vicar, assembled in vast numbers before his house, on which they made a desperate attack, first breaking the windows and ultimately pulling down the premises. thrte parts of which thesy levelled with the ground.
